Message: [QUOTE="RichZ, post: 5206919, member: 534"] [LIST=1] [*]No idea what was gong on early. We looked like a bunch of guys who had never played together before. Timeout at 16:18, down 10. [*]Thank you Solo! A corner 3 on the 1st post-timeout possession. [*]What a horrible foul call on Samson @ 13:54. [*]It's early, but Diarra not playing well at all doesn't bode well for us. Trying Nowell now. That doesn't seem to be working either. [*]We get within one, and Samson comes out trying to block a shot well beyond the 3 point line. The shot missed, but the ensuing 3 foul shots didn't. Sigh. [*]Fortunately McNeeley immediately got the 3 points back. [*]I felt like when Fielder plowed into Diarra at about 12:30 in the 1st half, the tenor of the game started to change. We were down by 6 at that point, and their best interior player had the ball against a guard. Could've been 8 if Hassan didn't draw the foul, but instead we kept our deficit to 6 or less from that point on, and went ahead about six and a half minutes later. [*]Tarris gives us our first lead at 5:57 [*]And 1 minute later the lead is 6. [*]7 point edge at the half. [*]Ball and Reed have 22 of our 42 points., and we are ahead 16 to 10 in rebounds, 3 to 2 in rejects and 9 to 2 in dimes. [*]2nd half, the Hoyas made a couple runs early in the half, but 8 minutes in, we'd regained our form and were holding a 10 point lead off Solo's FTs. I felt like we need to win this by 15 or more to start feeling good about ourselves again. [*]Diarra having a MUCH better game in the 2nd half. Looks like a different player out there. [*]We got going really good again when Reed came back in the game at 7:19. [*]Reed ended up with 20 points and 10 boards, a steal, a dime and a block. My choice for POG, edging out Solo by a narrow margin. [*]The following might have been my favorite Solo Ball sequence of the season.. [/LIST] 5:49 We are leading by 10. 5:50 Liam passes cross court to Solo outside the 3 point line. 5:51 Solo jukes 2 defenders on a drive to the hoop and lays it in. 5:42 Solo rebounds Mack's missed 3, dribbles down court, passes to McNeeley who passes it right back to Solo. 5:36 Solo misses a straight-on 3 pointer. Badly. 5:31 Karaban rebounds and passes it to Liam, who starts to drive, then passes it to Solo, wide open at the 3 pt line. 5:29 Solo drains a three, and 10 has grown to 15. [/QUOTE]
